THE DALLES/HOOD RIVER AREA RED CROSS WELCOMES NEW OPERATIONS SPECIALIST
Posted: August 26th, 2010 11:48 AM
With her strong interest in historic preservation, it's no surprise that Nora Donovan would want to work for an organization that's been around for 129 years -- the American Red Cross. Donovan recently joined the staff as Operations Specialist for the Oregon Trail Chapter's Columbia River District, which includes Hood River, Wasco, Sherman and Gilliam counties.
In her new role, Donovan is the primary contact for volunteer recruitment and retention, community outreach and general administrative operations to support Red Cross programs and services in the area. This position plays a critical role in building and maintaining a strong and engaged volunteer workforce as well as partnerships with key community organizations and services.
Donovan most recently worked with the Port of The Dalles on their Strategic Business Plan, and the City of The Dalles on the Downtown Business Development and Historic Preservation Plans. This fall, she will began a part-time Masters of Public Administration at Portland State University.
"Nora regularly volunteers with various groups throughout the Columbia River District and already has strong relationships with many key stakeholders," said Ronda Clegg, Director of Operations for the Oregon Trail Chapter. "With her enthusiastic and strong communication, volunteer management, organizational and project management skills, we're confident that Nora will be a great addition to the Red Cross team and will help make the area one of Oregon's best places to live."

In Oregon, the American Red Cross shelters, feeds and provides emotional support to victims of disaster an average of 10 times a week; supplies more than 90 percent of Oregon's blood; teaches thousands of Oregonians lifesaving skills; offers transportation to seniors and the disabled; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. The Red Cross is a charitable organization – not a government agency – and depends on volunteers and the generosity of the American public to perform its mission.
